All they're doing is trying to get the most HP out of, well basically doing tid bits (well except the cams). I believe they can achieve close to 200 hp. However, they didn't list ECU programming, or upgrading. At least support them. If they don't get it, oh well, at least there will be a good power gain (obviously they'd make more than stock 155). If they do, I wouldn't call BS.

but then again, thats in my logical opinion.
To catch up with the original mods on the first project car, within the first months after getting the car we reinstalled the following mods:

Injen cold air intake Aluminum drive shaft TEIN Flex coilover with EDFC Nismo solid shifter Cusco Front and Rear OS strut bars Inner Circle ECU rom tuning Nology ignition hot wires 5 Zigen Border III 2.50" catback Sun Hyperground kit Fuel filter, oil and plug change Cap and Rotor change New O2 Sensor Catco 3" Highflow Cat Nismo Transmission mount swap Pressure wash engine bay Removal of dead mouse on a/c compressor (50+hp)

ummmmmm.............

only one thing on that list would contribute to any kind of significant hp gains and they would be minimal at that.

i think its funny that they claim 50 from removing the ac(and well not even the whole thing..buwhahaha) i know they are a good legit company but this is pushing it bad here guys...I'm all for progress but it seems like everything they are doing has been done 1000's of times by the members on here already :)

^pretty much what ive been saying. i think the a/c thing has been misread though several times. they removed a mouse from the a/c not the a/c itself, at least not from what ive read.

i have absolutely nothing against them, if they can pull it off, it just builds more interest in the KA, which it was that engine definitely needs.

yeah but when they dont get near it they hurt thier own image (which you can clearly see matters here since we have all agreed that they are normally legit) and if poeple see that they can't do it then it knocks the engine even more so (i can can hear the words truck engine ringing in my ears already)if they would have said 185 sure that sounds great but 200...thats shooting themselves in the foot...plan for 200 but only talk 180 like how nissan said 240+ hp for the 350z but we all know they were shooting for 300 and we were all wowed by the 287 the vq put out....
